At the turning of the year I am in the mood for Rumi:
look at love
how it tangles
with the one fallen in love
look at spirit
how it fuses with earth
giving it new life
why are you so busy
with this or that or good or bad
pay attention to how things blend
...read more of the Life & Death poems here.
The Friday Poetry roundup is over at A Year of Reading. Enjoy!

Oh, my. That first stanza is so beautiful it hurts.
That is so good!
Pay attention to how things blend.
Huh.
Now, that one bears some real thinking...
This is lovely, and I agree -- it reflects and demands some real thought.
Oh my, lovely. Thank you. I needed that.
Thanks for this beautiful work by Rumi! And the photo. :~)
I really need to read some Rumi. I keep seeing lines here and there that are lovely.
Thanks, Andi--This is gorgeous.
